Yamada is a totally different experience than your typical strip mall nail salon. It is peaceful and intimate, and they really take their time and are extremely precise - like surgical precision. If you want somewhere that is very fast and cheap (hey sometimes that’s what you need!) then this is not the place. But if you want to spend a bit more, have a relaxing experience and get a truly beautiful manicure, this is the spot for you.

What Our Clients Say

”Longest lasting shellac manicure I’ve ever had. The manicure takes about an hour but was so meticulously done, it’s worth the extra time & cost for perfection. If you want a manicure that’s done perfectly & will last, this is the place to go.”

★★★★★

Teresa S.

”I’ve been disappointed with my usual nail salon in the area so I decided to branch out and try a new place. Absolutely loved my experience at Yamada! It’s small inside but extremely clean and organized. The workers are so nice and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. Definitely returning!”

Our Commitment to Quality and Safety

  • Sterilized Metal Tools: Every instrument is disinfected and sterilized according to strict government guidelines.

  • Disposable Kits: Each service uses fresh, disposable kits containing buffer blocks, nail files, and pumice stones — yours to keep or discard after treatment.

  • No Paraffin: We replace traditional paraffin with a facial-grade alternative for cleaner, safer skin nourishment.

  • Ultimate Comfort: Relax in our powered recliners, adjustable up to 135°, for a serene experience that melts away tension.

We believe quality is more than the final look — it’s the experience, the safety, and the confidence you take home with every service.
